A '''deletion''' is the permanent removal of content from the Lexicanum pages for a variety of reasons. [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editors|Normal Editors]] are not able to ''delete'' content, but they can request an [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Administrator]] to do it on their behalf (see below).
==What can a user be banned are the reasons forthe deletion of content?==[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editors|Editors]] can be excluded from the Lexicanum for a variety of reasons*... A non-exhaustive list of reasons for being banned follows:*[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Vandalism|vandalism]]...*abusive behaviour towards fellow [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editors|fellow Editors]] or staff ([[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Administrators]], [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]])...*disruptive behaviour such as posting illegal, comnmercial or inflammatory content*unsanctioned assumption of authority (e.g. assuming to have powers of a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Lexicanum Administrator]] or a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]]*impersonating a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Lexicanum Administrator]] or a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]] or other [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editors|User]]*[[Wikipedia:Spamming|spamming]]*operating [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_(Internet)|sockpuppet accounts]]*inserting [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation|unsourced]], false or non-[[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Canon|official]] information into articles*failing to follow [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Help|Lexicanum rules]] or instructions issued by a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Lexicanum Administrator]] or a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]].
==Will Can I be warned before being bannedreport content for deletion?==In the case of severe breach of rules such as for example abusive behaviour or Yes. Contact a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:VandalismAdministrators|vandalismLexicanum Administrator]] a user can be banned immediately. In the case of not following or [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:HelpBureaucrats|Lexicanum rulesBureaucrat]] in general a "Three strikes" rule is applied. You will Do note that if you abuse this function there might be warned three times and instructed how to do things correctly. Failure to observe these warnings will get you bannedconsequences (see [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Banning policy]]).
==How long will I be bannedWhat happens to the deleted content?==The length ''deletion'' of a suspension/ ban depends on Lexicanum article removes the nature of current version and all previous versions from '''public''' view. This means they are still accessible to the transgression and is decided by [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Lexicanum AdministratorAdministrators]] or and [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Bureaucrats|BureaucratBureaucrats]] in charge. It can be modified according This does however not apply to necessity and ranges from some days to let people "cool down" and give them a second chance later to an indefinite banthe deletion of files - once they are deleted, they are gone.
==Who decides about bans and can I appealCan deleted content be restored?==Deleted files cannot be restored. Deleted pages can be restored by [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Administrators|Lexicanum AdministratorAdministrators]] (also known as ''Admins'' or ''Sysops'') and [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]] are authorized to decide about banning a user. [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editors|"Normal" users]] ''cannot'' and ''should not'' threaten other users with bans (which doesn't mean they cannot point out breach of rules and how to do things correctly). In fact threatening other Editors can constitute abusive behaviour and might have consequences for the Editor in questionif necessary.
==Can But I report other users for problematic behaviour?saw a "normal" Editor delete the content of an article...==Yes. Contact a No, [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:AdministratorsEditors|Lexicanum Administratornormal Editors]] (also known as do not have access to the ''deletion'' tools. What you most probably witnessed was a process called ''SysopPage blanking''in which the content was "overwritten" with a different (possibly even "empty" content) . This can sometimes be a legitimate process, for example when [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Citation|unsourced]] content is removed in preparation of overhauling/ re-creating an article. Or because content was moved from one article to a more appropriate article. Unfortunately sometimes Editors do intentionally and with no legitimate reason [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Vandalism|vandalize]] articles by "blanking" them completely or partly. If you come across such acts, please immediately report them to an [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:BureaucratsAdministrators|BureaucratAdministrators]]who will take corresponding measures. ==Can I check which content has been deleted?==Yes, any [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Editors|Editor]] can check the [[Special:Log/delete|Deletion log]]. ==Will I be warned before my content is deleted?==No. There are normally valid reasons for deletion and no need for discussing such a course of action.
